Higher prices to shock South End Core fans

The South End Core may be dismantled after the standard €5 price tag to watch the Malta home games in the South Stand will be increased.

The MFA’s top men have decided to increase the price of each ticket in an attempt to launch the Goal Card which will be launched this Thursday. This site can reveal that this card will cost €30 meaning that if one intends to go and support all the Malta home games in the South Stand he will have to face a €5 total increment. This decision to increase the prices in the South Stand contrasts and contradicts the idea of so so called “season ticket” concept.

A ticket to watch a game of Malta against Italy, Denmark and the Czech Rep will have a 50% increase as these tickets bought on either matchday or days before will cost €10.

The Goal Card will be valid only for qualifying games of the 2014 FIFA World Cup which will eventually be held in Brazil.

www.sportinmalta.com has information that the standard tickets per individual match for the South Stand will be as follows:

Malta v Italy – €10

Malta v Armenia – €7

Malta v Czech Rep – €10

Malta v Denmark – €10

Malta v Bulgaria – €7

Malta v Armenia – €7

The MFA will give details of all other prices during a Press Conference this coming Thursday.

50% increase for Italy and Czech tickets if SEC fans do not buy Goal Card

I have just read this aweful news is this true ? I hope the MFA will issue a press release to clarify that the prices quoted above are not true. I trust that the MFA will leave the price of 5 eur for each game behind goals

i seriously do not know what all this fuss is about…… just to watch the carling cup final 2 years ago between man utd and aston villa a ticket cost abt 150 euro and ur making a fuss over 30 eurp to watch 5 games???? seriously….. tidru li intom maltin ax qatt mintom grati u dejjem tgergru

Following your article above, I would have expected that the least you could have done would be to attend the Press Conference that was held today, where you would have had the opportunity to learn more about the Goal Card scheme and to ask all the questions that you would have liked to clarify the completely mistaken impression that you have given to your readers regarding the advantages of the GOAL CARD.

Thanks for your comment on this article. Please be aware that I have been fully aware of the concept of the Goal Card since this has been brought forward for discussion within the MFA structures way back. Please understand that I am a journalist and not a reporter therefore I am entitled to look out for stories of general public interest whenever and on whatever the subject is. The basic fundamental right of a journalist is the freedom of expression so please refrain from trying to stop people who criticize the MFA. Also it would have been ethical from yourself should you have refrained from attacking me personally during your Press Conference earlier today. I trust you will do just the same the next time round when I am present in front of you so I can rebut your arguments legitimately like real gentlemen do.

This is pure BULLYING !, buy the card ( fork out the money before) or else you have to pay high price to attend a certain match !, as far as i Know the South Stand was always €5 ! I go there because i like the atmosphere and to support my country not to watch the other teams , i cannot commit to a card due to the nature of my work. YOU JUST SAVED ME MONEY . BYE BYE MFA ! you are just looking at the Italy Match to make money , The Itay match will come and go , there are other matches and other tournaments, ADIOS , YOU JUST LOST A LOYAL FAN !

Hi James , COMMISSION ???? you must be joking !!, We have not taken an official stand yet as we are still hoping to discuss this with the MFA and put in our proposal , WE AGREE WITH THE GOAL CARD Concept and this is a positive initiative . WHAT WE ARE NOT AGREEING ON IS WHY SUCH INCREMENT ON MATCH DAY TICKETS ON THE OTHER MATCHES? ( WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE iTALY MATCH CARRIES MORE WEIGHT AND A SLIGHT INCREASE IS ONLY NATURAL ) BUT AGAIN WHY THE OTHERS ??? WHY DENMARK AND CZECH REPUBLIC CARRIES A 100% INCREASE ? WHY ARMENIA AND BULGARIA CARRIES A 50% INCREASE ???
